Because I have disk brakes , my previous wheels were 16" and I wasn't sure if the 15's would have worked. This is all still new to me so I'm sure this won't be the last time I make an expensive decision for the same results....

Yeah, I have read a lot of people saying that as well. I don't drive it that much and I like the look of the TSL's. Not a practical decision but they look cool.More options when he has to replace the bald tsl’s after 1 yr
And are the best off road tire you can buy... the best
These are tough to come by right now but these are brand new and finally available just a few months back.

June 5, 2023 had these Kenda Klever 33-9.50 x 15 mounted to my stock wheels on my 1974. Stock springs, no lift. Yet. Ordered through Tires by Design in Houston.
Still have some old 33x9.50 BFGs on the trailer. That msrp on the Kenda is absurd. 33x10.50’s on the 40, my cost $275. Kenda missed the price point otherwise you’d see more.
Plus install gets you close to the BFG was my point…looks good. Can’t go wrong with the no hubcap look on a 40
That trailer
My set of 5 was $219, which was about $20/each higher than Walmart but it was worth it for me to avoid being at Walmart. Out the door price was $261 each

Have some old BFG AT 33x9.50X15s as rollers on my FJ45.
These are the old original flat springs and have clearance issues.
This is a before a before picture?
This is a after picture?
I have a trailer made from a early Hilux pickup. Guessing between 72 and 75. Currently have 31X10.50X15s on Camry rims. Had 14" white spokes with rotted tires when I bought it. Obvious you changed the axle. What axle did you use? Have a few FJ40 axles considered using. Clearance lights are higher on.mine. Appears yours was using 40 series reflectors where the clearance lights go. You still have the reflectors?

Yep. Found it in the Missouri woods and had a 4” drop axle added so I could keep 33’s and not have various spares. The tongue extends also. Then, I sourced some repro sr5 pick up bed lights for the tail lights and marker lights. It pulls nice. The reflectors were cheap Napa junk held on with a rusty screw. Kansas trailer ‘40’ plate

Drop axle also changed the lug pattern to LC pattern thru 80 series. That's my goal is match the spare pattern to all my vehicles except my 2nd gen Sequoia. The drop axle is an interesting idea. Primary use for the trailer is hauling between homes. On a two track trail no diff dragging would be nice.
Have some cheap aftermarket tail lights but the OEM ones are still in decent shape. I like the protection Toyota did to protect the back of the tail lights inside the bed. Just wish the woman I bought it from would have left the original green paint instead of using house paint thinking it would look better parked next to the garage.
That trailer is great! I need one.

If it sees trails with bigger rocks and water crossing, 4" no doubt. Both of my 40s had 4" with skinny 33s and 35s. 4" with skinny 35s is the way.
If it only sees pavement and fireroads then go lower unless you're a taller guy (or girl).
The only caveat is if you want to look cooler, then 4" with 35s is the best and still easy to drive/parallel park in cities.
I run a 4" Skyjacker lift with 33-10.50s on stk wheels and it looks good and handles great. The 4" lift offers the option of going to 35s easily. At some point, I'll be going to 35s, I'm just not sure on the width yet.
